Yes, export will run. It is part of the shell. As for what you arte
looking for, just start the install process then before anything actually
gets done do a Ctrl/Alt/F2 and you will get a shell. You will probably have
to make the device entries in /tmp to mount the partitions, but there should
be enough there to do a rescue. I have unfortunately done this many times.
If you do not have anonymous FTP and you do not have a shell open then you
must use some sort of external boot mechanism. That's why you should always
keep the install CD(s) handy so that you can get to a working shell.
For the repair with / on HDA1 you would do:
mknod /tmp/hda1 3 1
mkdir /mnt/hda1
mount /tmp/hda1 /mnt/hda1
your /lib directory (assuming that hda1 was / and /lib was on this
partition) would be /mnt/hda1/lib
You could then go in and rename the file. Similarly if you needed to
reinstall lilo you might want to type:
/mnt/hda1/sbin/lilo -r /mnt/hda1
This is assuming that /etc and /sbin are both on the same partition.

Subject: Re: Renamed System file
what if they don't have an annonymous ftp setup on their machine? Will the
command 'export' even run without a libc library? There should really be a
better understanding of ramdisks and their use. Maybe RedHat should come
out
with a redhat rescue CD that will allow its users to boot from the CD-Rom
when
they run into problems at which point the cdrom would contain a kernel
image,
and the ram filesystem. Does it have such a thing?
